Earth observation technology has provided highly useful information in global climate change research over the past few decades and greatly promoted its development, especially through providing biological, ph
Sea ice occurs in many forms that present different types of hazards, from solid, stationary shelves of landfast ice to large, brittle plates, to loose mixtures of smaller floes with slushy brash ice and icebergs. Critical elements of a physics-based sea-ice model framework include necessary, ...
We then assume that these icebergs behave like flat ice shelves if the bathymetry is deeper than 380 m plus two ocean model vertical levels (the minimum water column thickness in NEMO) and like an island (i.e., no water column) if the bathymetry is shallower. The huge B22A iceberg ...
1. Introduction The East Greenland Current (EGC) provides a primary pathway of freshwater between the Arctic and North Atlantic (Haine et al., 2015). The freshening of the Arctic Ocean and the increase in ice-mass loss due to climate change on Greenland are additional sources of ...
” –designed to improve our understanding of ice-ocean interaction and its impact on the interior ice sheet dynamics within the framework of the continuing changes in Antarctic climate, oceanic circulation, and ongoing ice flow changes. Central to achieving this goal will be: long-term continuous...
The interdisciplinary and comprehensive studies on climate changes in the Arctic and its global influences were presented from all the related fields. The aim of this session is largely associated with the ISAR-4 priorities, and is related to the research activities of the GRENE Arctic Climate Cha...
Maritime transport plays a crucial role in international trade. As the number and tonnage of ships continue to increase, traditional shipping routes are becoming progressively congested. The development of Arctic shipping routes has the potential to significantly improve trade efficiency and decrease relian...
Prehistoric icebergs in the North Atlantic had a greater influence on tropical climate than was previously thought. Wuttig at the University of Maryland, College Park, has now created a titanium–nickel– copper alloy (Ti 54 Ni 34 Cu 12 ) that averts this memory loss. Layers of Ti...
[2] Large tabular icebergs have physical characteristics and stress environments similar to ice shelves, but with an important difference: they drift. Therefore they can experience more rapid changes in climate and ocean temperature than ice shelves, and can be used as a proxy to investigate how ...
We show that these intra-annual shifts correlate with seasonal changes in the ambient noise near their call frequency. This ambient noise level, in turn, shows a strong correlation with the seasonal presence of icebergs, which are one of the main sources of oceanic noise in the Southern ...
